Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz gave a disabled veteran a holiday season to remember on Saturday, with help from his line of "Dabbing Santa" ugly Christmas sweaters.

Dierdre Plater of Palmetto, Georgia, a veteran with disability, got a visit from the 38-year old rapper, who announced he would pay Plater's rent for the entire year. 2 Chainz, born Tauheed Epps, also provided the family with bedroom furniture and sofas.

"It's hard to keep gas in the car, food in the house, and do everything by myself being a single parent," Plater told Atlanta's CBS affiliate . "I am on a fixed income."

2 Chainz, who grew up poor in College Park, Georgia, took to Instagram to explain why it's important to give back.

I remember when we didnt have hot water and I didnt want my friends to know, so I told them it was something wrong with that bathroom and they couldnt use my mommas, the rapper wrote in an Instagram caption of a photo with Plater and her son. I remember using the oven to heat the house, I would stand in the kitchen for hours to stay warm. I remember waiting until the water co. close at 5, so we could use a tool and turn the water back on until 6 a.m."
